Thanks to: Tobias Nutt Scott Lawson Matthew Stier Francisco Roque A Darren Dunham David Foster I use the zvol as a UFS mounted filesystem on an x86 platform. I think my problem was that after using zfs set volsize=<newsize> you need to run fdisk and fmthard to get the new size recognised before you can growfs. I now suspect that these caused my data corruption. I've since been more careful and grown volumes successfully. Thanks for your help john -- original question -- Does anyone know if you can grow a ZFS volume without damaging the data that is already on it? You can do a zfs set volsize=<newsize> <volume> but that destroys any data on the volume.
